    Ann Waldman discusses her life as a Beat poet with Harry Ransom Center Curator of British and American Literature, Molly Schwartzburg. Waldman co-founded with Allen Ginsberg the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, where she is the Artistic Director of the Summer Writing Program. She has published dozens of books of poetry, and her work has been translated into several languages. This program is presented in conjunction with the Ransom Center’s current exhibition On the Road with the Beats, curated by Schwartzburg. The exhibition, which traces the travels of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and their friends across America and the globe, runs through August 3.
